The sky turned dark, leaving only Lord Gen's rainbow palace as the only source of light in this dimly lit area. Since Ling Lan killed Lord Gen secretly and swiftly, the rainbow palace hadn't descended into chaos as it continued to operate as per normal. Plus, with the help of the five guardians controlling the situation, everyone in the rainbow palace was pacified quickly. Nothing noteworthy happened in the territories controlled by Lord Gen either. Everything seemed peaceful and orderly.
Of course, Ling Lan knew that this peace was just temporary. If she didn't gain the approval of the other 12 lords in the end, she would be faced with endless challenges and the unrest among the people below her.
